A Poem

Wallflower standing there

Feeling the energy in the air

Life of the party

Chained down by uncertainty and apprehension

Feeling the tension

Of wanting

To join

Wanting to live

To forgive

Yourself

Feeling no self-wealth

Destroying all you create

Out of self-hate

Continuing to flagellate

Looking in

But never passing through the gate

Wallflower

Dance

Dance like your life depends on it

Own it

And flaunt it

Extroverted introversion

Go on

Take that excursion

Adventure

Feed your soul

The world will take its toll

No matter what you do

You be you

People will point and judge

Ignore them

And rise above

Knowing that you are loved
